Next March 8th, International day of working women, there will be a worldwide general strike for the first time in my life.
I have never worked this issue with primary children but personally I strongly believe that they can understand the video below in which the goal was to turn the phrase "like a girl" from being an insult to being a real compliment and boost to self-confidence.
PRE-WATCHING DISCUSSION
1. Is "run like a man" positively or negatively connotated? What about "run like a girl"?
2. What adjectives or expressions are typically associated with men? and to women?
POST- WATCHING DISCUSSION
1. Why do the girls in the video react differently from the rest of the people when asked to run like a girl, flight like a girl and throw like a girl?
2. Have you ever heard any comments similar to "you run like a girl"? Hod did you feel when you heard them?
3. What could you do or say if you hear them again?
Furthermore, here you have an interesting reading about that day. However, just you know, I have prepared a reading and some structures to help children to talk in English.
